Case 05-6
Centcom Inc Britel is a telecommunications company based in Italy and completely owned by TTL Group LLC. Centcom Inc, a telephone company just entered into an agreement to manage Britel. The agreement gives Centcom the opportunity to acquire the company completely if Centcom desires to do so. Based on the terms and the agreement between both companies it is a good opportunity for Centcom to actually consolidate Britel. Britel has a current deficit in shareholders’ equity however the benefits that Centcom can obtain by acquiring the company are much larger than the disadvantages. If Centcom in fact decides to acquire Britel, the company will acquire a vast amount of benefits. One of the benefit with the current agreement is that Centcom is entitled to receive 80 percent of Britel EBTIDA by simply paying a fee that it is actually paid from sufficient cash being generated from Britel’s own operations. Centcom will have the power to manage the administrative and operational activities of Britel, including hiring and terminating employees. Centcom actually plans to integrate Britel’s activities into its own operations. On the other hand there are also some disadvantages. Centcom will only have one member on the six-member board of directors which are key when it comes to major expansion transactions such as acquisitions or joint ventures. The fact that Britel currently holds a deficit in shareholders equity can be offset with the fact that Centcom would be able to provide additional services to Britel’s customer that Britel did not provide before. Not only are they providing more services, but they estimate that under its management, economies of scale benefits will be realized, and therefore it will reduce Britel’s operating costs. Assuming that Centcom estimates and new services are actually liked by customers, they will increase Britel revenues and lower cost which will lead to a higher revenue, which will eventually eliminate the shareholders...

The case method is an approach to management education and development of professional skills complementary to the traditional lecture.
The traditional teaching of matrix Continental ideally sees the student as an empty basket, presenting the teacher the opportunity to, in the time available, insert knowledge, hoping that this remains once the study period of the discipline is over.
However, the methodology of the cases presented in this text already considers the learner as an "ideal" basket full of knowledge ready to be "activated". The teacher’s task is to endeavor to, through the development of the case, reach out and interpret the issues in such a way that the knowledge, studied also in textbooks, becomes expertise, and will remain as the student’s overall cultural experience
The proposed case methods identify a methodological process useful for the analysis of different business realities.
The study and analysis of the cases necessitates "team work" in cooperation with other peers (peer education).
1. The case method - the approach
The approach that we want to take with the present chapter is the following:
1) Reading and analysis of the business case;
2) enriching skills required by consulting textbooks and other sources of information;
3) discussion in subgroups;
4) development of the case through...

...Abstract
Cold case investigation is a growing concern due to increased numbers of unsolved cases and pop culture appeal. This paper will walk you through what a cold case investigation is, how one begins, and factors such as the use of volunteers can effect the outcome of a cold case investigation. Each year the number of unsolved cases in the U.S. goes up, but with limiting funding and lack of manning something has to be done to keep the numbers down. A dedicated cold case unit is the best answer to this problem.
Cold Case Investigation
Approximately one-third of all homicides in the United States are not cleared within the first year of being committed. These cases are dubbed cold cases after active investigation has been terminated for any of several reasons. If investigators lose the trail or cannot come up with enough evidence, witnesses, or a suspect the case may be closed. More important or high publicity cases may become a priority and with lack of a trail a case is closed. These cases can be placed on a back burner until time and manning is available to conduct a more thorough investigation and continue where previous investigation left off. The low clearance rate has also been attributed to the number of experienced...

...UNDERSTANDING THE CASE PROCESS
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this section is to help you to understand what a case is and how you, as a student of business, can more effectively prepare your answers and benefit from a case discussion.
The material covered in this section includes:
1. Understanding what a case is.
2. Reading a case effectively.
3. Analysing and preparing for a case discussion.
4. Reporting your case findings.
5. Discussing the case.
1. Understanding what a case is.
Socrates, the teacher-philosopher, used questions rather than statements of fact, to lead his students through the reasoning process. As a student we can try and help you learn in several ways, and the case approach does much the same thing that Socrates did by asking questions. You, as the student, are not told the answer to a problem, but will have to build your own solution. This is a type of active learning where your instructor will guide you in your case discussion to the point at which you discover the solution for yourself.
So cases are a problem-solving situation. You are given a story, based on a real business situation, and then you are asked questions or posed a problem based on the situation outlined in the case. Some cases are short, and focused on a very...

...CASE STUDY WORKSHEET
This form can be used to organize your thoughts about a case. As you perform your analysis remain open to the
fact that your interpretation of the facts may change and therefore you should constantly revisit your answers.
Define the Problem: Describe the type of case and what problem(s) or issue(s) should be the focus for your
analysis. Cases tend to fall into one of three categories that sometimes overlap:
Ø Decision Cases describe a decision faced by the case protagonist (character). The student ultimately
must choose among a finite set of distinct decision alternatives.
Ø Problem Cases require a student to diagnose a problem in a business case and to formulate possible
solutions.
Ø Evaluation Cases illustrate a business success or failure. The student analyzes the underlying reasons
for that success or failure to arrive at management lessons.
